B.SAFE AMBASSADORS

We believe in every community that we engage in, there are numerous women with passion & intention to help empower disadvantaged women but often lack the knowledge, necessary tools and resources. B.SAFE identifies these women as Ambassadors, build capacity through intensive training & help them gain access to all required resources such as police officials, counselling centres, legal support, schemes, loans etc

The B.SAFE Ambassadors will primarily focus on:

1. Understanding the gaps in safety of women in public spaces and work with government and key stakeholders to bridge this gap in the constituency, through a definite action plan.

2. Engaging community to create awareness and enable access to resources empowering women.

3. Sustaining mechanisms to drive safety and empowerment in that constituency.
